LiveScience, August 24, 2012: UNH assistant professor Luiz Vieira is part of a research team studying cold-formed steel, a component of earthquake-resistant architecture. Although industry standards and codes for cold-formed steel were first written in 1946, there is still much to be learned about the entire system of a cold-formed steel building as it responds to an earthquake.
